The only thing more interesting than rappers beefing is rappers telling momma jokes without any beats surrounded by a circle of frat bros. But right behind that comes static between producers. And we’ve had some classics over the years. Dr. Dre V Jermaine Dupri, Swizz Beats V good music, Timbaland V Scott Storch… okay so they were all awful (including the Swizz Beats one, where good music took a whoopin’ to the consternation of ears everywhere), but in 2000 and dime, beatmaker drama is back on the menu.

Fuck That is a look at the strange, the nonsensical and the simply fucked up aspects of modern hip-hop culture. By me.

It’s said that in times of sorrow, our primal coping mechanisms force us to react to tough circumstances with either anger or laughter. Well actually that’s a load of bullshit that I just made up. But after the much-publicized Girl Interrupted moment at the VMAs a few nights ago, it’s been interesting to see the variety of reactions.
